Package: bzflag-client
Version: 2.4.2+ds1-1
Severity: serious

Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package fails to upgrade from
'sid' to 'experimental'.
It installed fine in 'sid', then the upgrade to 'experimental' fails
because it tries to overwrite other packages files without declaring a
Breaks+Replaces relation.

See policy 7.6 at
http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html#s-replaces

>From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...):

  Preparing to replace bzflag-client 2.0.16.20100405+nmu1 (using .../bzflag-client_2.4.2+ds1-1_amd64.deb) ...
  Unpacking replacement bzflag-client ...
  dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/bzflag-client_2.4.2+ds1-1_amd64.deb (--unpack):
   trying to overwrite '/usr/share/pixmaps/bzflag-48x48.png', which is also in package bzflag-data 2.0.16.20100405+nmu1
  dpkg-deb: error: subprocess paste was killed by signal (Broken pipe)
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   /var/cache/apt/archives/bzflag-client_2.4.2+ds1-1_amd64.deb


cheers,

Andreas
